Sad his career had to end this way. I wish he could have taken a lesser role and tried to take one more stab at the playoffs but it was clear he wanted to win on his own terms witch turned out to be a bad choice .

How is that hate? He cares more about himself than anything else, even his career. He refuses to put the team first, ever. He refuses to accept a lesser role, even when his effectiveness has lessened to merit such a role. He still thinks he's the MVP who can take over every game, and refuses to be treated otherwise. It's not hate: it's reality.

It's a bad choice to not go ring chasing?... Now I've heard it all on ISH

If AI truly is retiring instead of going to another garbage team, or a stacked elite team... he gets my respect. He was basically considered a top 5 guard by virtually everyone for his entire career except his rookie season, and his final season (which would be counted as Detroit, not Memphis).
